Hugo Gardens Page 7 Trash/Recycling The applicant indicates that each unit will have their own trash/recycling containers and will be managed by the apartment manager. Wetlands The wetlands on site were delineated when the property was platted. There are no direct wetland impacts proposed. However, the construction limits are shown at the edge of the wetland where retaining walls are proposed. The developer will need to work closely with City staff to design the retaining wall construction plan to ensure no impact. Grading/Drainage The applicant is proposing to use stormwater management ponds to meet stormwater requirements. The plan includes new ponds on the west side of Outlot B and on Outlot D, LaValle Fields First Addition. The City engineer will continue to work with the applicant to ensure that rate and volume control rates are being met. It appears that the pond is being sized in order to provide stormwater management for the development, Finale Avenue, and a small portion of Lions Park, however a breakdown of impervious area will be needed to confirm. The City is currently planning a water reuse system that would take stormwater from the pond located in the northwest quadrant of Oneka Parkway and CSAH 8. This project is proposed to irrigate the CSAH 8 median and boulevard areas, Lions Park, City Hall, Finale Boulevards (new segment) and 147th Boulevards (new segment). To fulfill infiltration requirements, Hugo Gardens is proposing to participate in the costs associated with the water reuse project. Since this water reuse system will not be in place at the time of project approvals, use of the credits generated from previous water reuse projects could be used for this project. The Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan is currently being finalized and will be brought forward to the City Council and Rice Creek Watershed District for approval. The applicant is proposing to vacate the existing drainage and utility easement in the west portion of the lot and provide new easements with the final plat. The existing easement is for a stormwater pipe from the senior housing site that applicant will relocate. The easement vacation application must be filed with the final plat application. Utilities The site is served by municipal sanitary sewer and water. Sanitary sewer is available at the intersection of Finale Avenue and 146th Street and will be extended along the proposed Finale Avenue alignment to serve the site. Water is currently located on the southern portion of Finale Avenue and will be extended north along the proposed Finale Avenue and connect to the existing watermain near the well house. Access The applicant is showing a 28-foot wide private drive serving the site (with 24-foot wide driveways to access the units). There are three curb cuts on to Finale Avenue and staff
